Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 SP: Race-Derived Performance for Road & Track
Unleash the full potential of your sportbike with the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 SP. A street-legal, race-replica tire engineered for ultimate grip, handling, and stability on both the street and track.
The Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 SP is the pinnacle of performance motorcycle tire technology, bringing World Superbike-derived engineering to the road and track. This fourth-generation tire is an entirely new product from its predecessor, featuring a completely redesigned tread pattern, compounds, structures, and profiles.
Engineered for the most demanding riders, the Supercorsa V4 SP offers a unique dual-compound layout on both the front and rear tires. The front is the first supersport tire to feature a dual-compound, "Cap & Base" design, with a narrow central strip for high-speed stability and a Racing SC3 compound on the shoulders for extreme cornering grip. The rear tire complements this with a softer central compound for optimal grip and quick warm-up, while the SC3 racing shoulders provide massive thrust when exiting corners. An "Adaptive Base Compound" ensures enhanced thermal stability for consistent performance under various conditions.The V4 SP's structure and profiles are a direct result of Pirelli's World SBK experience, delivering outstanding handling, line-holding, and high-speed stability. The patented "FLASH" tread pattern has been evolved to provide homogeneous thrust at any lean angle and consistent performance lap after lap. With a slick area on the shoulders, the tire maximizes the rubber-to-road contact patch at extreme lean angles, ensuring uncompromised grip. This tire is a "Sport Production" version, meaning it's optimized to deliver peak performance on the road with standard pressures, but can also be used on the racetrack with specific track pressures (2.3 bar front / 2.1 bar rear when warm). It's the ultimate choice for riders who demand a single tire that excels on both the street and during occasional track day outings.
